Amaras Espadin Reposado Mezcal
Amaras Reposado represents the refined, approachable side of traditional Oaxacan mezcal—introducing newcomers and seasoned enthusiasts alike to the smooth, mellow character that oak aging brings to this ancient spirit. Handcrafted from the same 8-year-old Espadín agave used in their blanco expression, this reposado is matured for a minimum of three months in barrels crafted from two complementary types of oak. The barrel bodies are medium-toasted American oak, which adds warmth and sweet caramel notes, while the French oak lids enhance the spirit's natural fruitiness and silky smoothness. The result is an elegant, golden-amber mezcal that transforms the bright agave character into something more contemplative and rounded.
On the nose, a graceful hint of warm recently cooked wood and agave opens into caramel and vanilla aromatics. The palate delivers soft and smooth taste, with light notes of vanilla and roasted hazelnut, finishing with warmth and subtle length. This is mezcal for those transitioning from tequila or whiskey—the smoke remains present but refined, never overwhelming, while the oak integration creates complexity and a gentle sweetness that make this exceptionally food-friendly and cocktail-versatile.
Perfect enjoyed neat or over ice to appreciate its layered character, Amaras Reposado also shines in sophisticated cocktails—try it in a Mezcal Margarita, mixed with cold brew coffee and citrus, or paired with agave nectar and ginger for a warming sipper. Bottled at 40% ABV, this award-winning expression represents Amaras' commitment to quality agave spirits that honor tradition while remaining accessible to a modern palate.
